The fire in that scriptures means His good works will not count for anything.. Meaning He will be Saved because he believed Jesus and trusted in the Atonement But he will not be called great in the kingdom of heaven, he will be called least in the kingdom of heaven because he either failed in shining the light of salvation well as He should have or believed in and promoted doctrines not in alignment with scripture..
His Works are burned.. He does not get burned..
well, u are entitled to interpret scripture as you please. That means you have chosen to be your own pope. That also means that everyone else is also his or her own pope
but t hat is not how Jesus set up His Church. He set it up to have ONE human head or leader which was first St Peter and then the other popes. Yes, i know... other popes were not exactly in the mold of St Peter, to say the least. So sometimes we kind of have to be "our own pope" in the sense that we have to figure out what is true and separate the truth from all the falsehoods ubiquitous in the world...
So... that being the case, my opinion on whatthat scripture means is just as important and valid as yours.
And I prefer my own opinion so called. The passage clearly says that the man's WORK will burn yet he hmself will be saved YET AS THROUGH FIRE
As one canonized saint has said: The same fire that burns the damned purges the saved.. (may notbe exact words but almost)
